Extract the files and install the third party libraries with npm.
npm install
You can run the server locally with the following command:
npm run start:dev
You can reach the test server at http://localhost:3000

npm run build-rel
If you are developing you can watch the src directory (and automatically rebuild without compression) with
npm run watch
